        + presented the ~10 at ESC
        + query for all the NeedsDevEal them:
            + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&query_format=advanced&status_whiteboard=needsDevEval%20needDevEval&status_whiteboard_type=anywordssubstr

        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Fields/Whiteboard/Advanced
        + https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Fields/Whiteboard
            + there is inconsistency between needDevEval, neeedsDevEval and NeedsDevEval

            + it is a bit thin, so feel free to hack at it.
            + need some crafting on the Whiteboard as to scope of 5.0 branding proposals, e.g.
              + visual design (color scheme, icons)
              + StartCenter specifics (changes to layout--yes/no--)
              + placment or size of thumbnail views/template views
              etc.

        + Continue with last friday's insert chart discussion as it hasnt been completed

        + everyone please feel empowered to look at that + act: reject, implement, decide, or bring to
          the meeting or mailing list if controversial
        + please be kind when closing requests, usually people have spent quite some energy filing that
     
        + Jay will go through the ux-advise bugs he has added (Jay)
        + to decrease the backlog, we should take ~5 easy to decide bugs to every meeting, and deal with them (Stuart)
    AI      + the next meeting, let's try it - select few that are easy to deal with (Stuart)
            + might be good to track it in a doc (Jay)
                + pad might be enough - let's start with this in the pad for now (Kendy)
            + and for grouping, we can use meta-bug (Stuart/Kendy)
    AI      + will parse the list and generate entries to the Design Pad--tdf# and title--and when added include
              in a BZ Meta (but put it in UI component) (Stuart)
